it takes them out of the Boozer chase, but O’Neal has been playing well lately and Moon gives them another good defender. Their D should be very very good with at least 4 above average defenders in their starting lineup. It does put more pressure on Beasley to start producing more on offense, but I think he should do better with O’Neal at the 5. Its an ok deal for Toronto too, a Marion-Bosh-Bargs is a very interesting frontline that causes matchup difficulties. They have a 5 with more of a 3 skill set, and a 3 with more of a 4 skillset. I just dont know why this deal wasnt done earlier.

They are clearing cap space for Wade et al and signing Boozer to a big fat deal was never on the radar.
